Blissdom is DAYS away! I cannot wait to be immersed in all things bloggy! Today, Marie from Make and Takes is going to share how she increases TRAFFIC to her blog…

I’m excited to be here at Oh Amanda, sharing a few tips on submitting your blog to other sites. With my blog Make and Takes, I write a lot of tutorials on kid’s crafts, easy recipes, and home projects. Once a tutorial post is up and running, I like to submit it to a few sites, bringing in some new readers. I do this for my crafts, home projects, really anything can be submitted and featured.

Here’s a few of my favorite places to submit posts:

– Stumble Upon: Sign up and take a look around. This site has brought me a lot of traffic, it’s especially good with recipes. Some days I get a few hundred hits from it, other days a few thousand. So get to know this site. BUT with Stumble, you can’t submit only your own site. You’ll get flagged. I try to submit about 9 or 10 other posts from around the web and then submit one of my own. See my Make and Takes Page and you’ll see my reviews. To help with this, I’ve set up a few friends through email who are also on Stumble and we email each other our links to submit. This has been great. If you want, email me and I’ll submit your posts to Stumble any time: marie {at} makeandtakes.com. A few other good sites similar to this are: Kirtsy, Digg, and Delicious.

– Tastespotting: This is my favorite site to submit recipes. Here, you can submit as many of your own as you want. They do get a lot of submissions though, so sometimes they don’t make the cut. But if they do, it’s great traffic. They are picky about the photo, so make it really great quality. A few other good sites for submitting recipes are: Food Gawker and Food Photo Blog.

– Craftzine: This site is a great one for all kinds of crafts, and sometimes recipes. If you’ve got something original or eye catching, they’re sure to feature it and link back. This and the ones listed next, you can submit as many of your own as you’d like. Here’s a few other places for submitting crafts: The Crafty Crow, Get Crafty, Tip Junkie, One Pretty Thing.

Where have you had success submitting your blog posts? Good luck getting featured!

Isn’t Marie the best? I feel like she just let me in on her own private bloggy secrets! {And I’m totally starting a Stumble Club so we can stumble each other’s posts. Who wants in?} Besides knowing where to submit her posts, Marie has the most amazing creative content. Her blog is so fun, please make sure you subscribe to Make and Takes. And follow Marie on Twitter. Oh, and she’s even got a cute monster craft ebook you will want to download!

I’ve had a little note to research stumbleupon, digg, and delicious for quite a while now. I just haven’t made the time. Seems like I need to MAKE the time. What a great tutorial!! I totally want in 🙂

This is a great post! I link up all the time and have not linked to most of the blogs she suggested. And I totally didn’t know you could stumble your own post.
Thanks so much!

Natural Sex Pills For Men are a highly potent mix of all natural ingredients including herbs and other nutrients that not only increase blood flow to the penis but also helps enhance testosterone levels in your body. Another very important aspect they work upon is the nitric oxide production in your body.

This ensures harder and stiffer erections.An increasing number of women are now opting for Sex Pills For Women that can help them enjoy more fulfilling sex.

I almost never drop responses, but after browsing a few of the remarks on this page Bliss*Tastic Week 5: Marie from Make and Takes: Submitting Your Tutorials, Recipes and How-To Posts | ohamanda.com. I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be only me or does it look like some of these comments appear as if they are left by brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are writing at other sites, I would like to follow everything new you have to post. Would you list of all of all your public pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
